while it is used each day. Rarely, increases in blood pressure have been associated with chest pain, heart
attack, and stroke.

Use the
Zona Plus™
At Least 5 Days Each Week:
Unless your physician tells you otherwise,
successfully complete 1 Zona Plus™ therapy a day at least 5 times each week.
•
Steps 1 and 2 (Set Maximum Squeeze Level):
When you establish your maximum squeeze level,
squeeze as hard as you can in each hand for 1-2 seconds. This will help ensure that your target
squeeze level for each hand is properly set.
•
Step 3 - 6 (The Isometric Therapy Session):
The force sensor on the Zona Plus™ can detect even
small changes in the squeeze force. If your scores are below 80, even though you are staying within
the “HOLD,” zone for much of the isometric therapy session, try squeezing a bit harder. As long as the
display shows “HOLD,” it’s better to squeeze more than less.
Your Score:
A score of 100 is perfect, but as long as you have scores at or above 80 you’re performing
the isometric therapy properly. Continued use of the device should help improve your score.
